IMPERILLED LICENSE.
By Telegraph—Tress Association. Dunedin, last night.
Mr Graham, S.M., took time to consider his decision in the charge of selling liquor on Sunday, against the landlady ot the Hotel Mutropole, lit. Clair. Two men, who said they were travellers, entered 'and obtained drink, but it was shown that they slept in parts of the city under the three miles limit. The evidence of the man at the door was to the effect that he was specially stationed there to ask the question as to persons being travellers and having slept on the previous night outside the three mile limit. Though he could not remember tho men in question going in, lie was sure he must hate questioned them, as he never allowed anyone in until satisfied they were travellers. The barmaid also said that she questioned all persons. The men said that they stated they were travellers, but could not remember being asked where they slept. The case is important, because if a conviction takes place, and tbe license is endorsed, the hotel will lose its license.
